Photoshop Request...
I saw all of the creative photoshopping that was occuring in the thread where the MBworld was ripping c230_617 a new one.
It got me wondering. Can someone photoshop a 1" drop on my car?
Thanks!

Thanks Splinter! I'd really like to see what my car, specifically, look like with a drop. I know there is another sedan lowered above, but the drop is more aggressive than what I'm looking for and it has bigger/different rims.
At this point, I know I'm being pretty picky!

Sanf, that is perfect! Thank you so much man! LOVE IT! You're the man! 
Anyone think H&R springs will give me this drop? What do you think the height would be with the H&R's?
Thanks again Sanf!

here's HR spec for your ride:
Ride Height: Moderate Lowering
Note: Avg low 1.4"F 1.3"R

I had #1 all around and ran 18x8 - 225/40/18. but then again...we are talkign w202 vs w203 and i haven't done much to my w203 yet. cant help you much

Remember that the TEIN S-Tech's were based on my 2004.5, so the drop would be more aggressive than H&R or Eibach springs. H&R and Eibach were available before I did the R&D for the TEIN setups.

Hang on a sec, you're saying that the Tein S-Techs will drop the car more than the H&R or Eibachs (above you say the Tein's are more aggressive based upon your 2004.5)? This is contrary to anything I've seen...

The R&D I did with TEIN was based off the drop from a 2004.5 model (not 2003/2004, which had higher ride height). So even though the website indicates a certain amount of drop, you have to take into consideration that the drop is from 2004.5 OEM springs, not 2003/2004.
That being said, Eibach and H&R's were available from the beginning of the Chassis w/ the 240/320 sedans and the numbers indicated for the drop were based on those models, not on the 230.
So, if you've got a 2004 (prior to updates) and not a 2004.5, then the S-tech's would most likely drop your car more than the Eibach or H&R's.
